My Guyson sand blasting cabinet is excellent, but the perspex window constantly mists up externally from my breath. Especially in the current cold weather it becomes a right pain, but even in more normal times it's a problem. I have thoughts of installing some sort of blower to give a cross draught, possibly with a heater, but cannot find anything small enough not to be cumbersome.
Any suggestions welcome, but lets not start a heavy breathing thread!

Isn't there something that you can spray on to prevent misting like motorcyclists use to prevent their visors fogging? I'm thinking vaseline, but probably wrong...
I have a couple of 24v dc 0.33A tangential blowers. Outlet is 210mm wide by 25mm high. Fan is about 40 diameter. Overall mount area about
25 x 100 weight 400g. If any good you can have one for the postage. They are ex photo copier. I am in Cheltenham.Richard

I would have thought a computer fan would do the job. Something off an old power supply or cpu. My video card even has a diddy one mounted on it.
A little neat washing up liquid rubbed on stops the misting for quite a while. Isn't that what posh divers use on the inside of their goggles - common ones use spit :-)

In the early days of high speed experimental jets the Yanks used Drene shampoo. I wonder if it's still available :-)) Henry
I have some of the hydrophobic liquid (I can't remember the name and the label is missing, so not a good sales pitch) designed for car windscreens, shower doors, binoculars etc. If you want I can stick a small vial in the post for you to try.

Andrew Mawson formulated the question :
Something like a motorcycling mask, so your breath is diverted down towards your neck, rather than straight forwards at the visor?
Washing up liquid, wiped on then polished off is what I use on the visor.
Are you calling me common?

No they're gnomes

Oh gnome they're not!
